Here's the real root of the problem

This little girl's whole house needs treated. Not just her head. The school nurse needs to be a little more of an educator to this child's family. They need to bag up all stuffed toys for 2 weeks, launder all bedding, hats, coats, gloves, etc. They need to treat everyone in the house, both with shampoo and picking out nits (shampoo doesn't kill nits only live insects), you have to pick out every nit.
Really, the comment on about being clean is not very nice, anyone can get lice and they can cross socioeconomic statuses, not just low-class people with poor hygiene get them, in fact lice prefer clean heads according to my microbiology instructor. They don't cause any known illnesses are just a nuisance.
This child's family needs embraced and educated. Perhaps instead of being a pain in their butts, go talk to the mom, see if she would like help clearing their house, perhaps she just doesn't know what needs done. How awful for this child to be ridiculed and put down by her classmates and their parents because she has a curable problem. Step up to the plate and help the family. She does need to be in school - they aren't an infectious disease.

Valerian Root
Valerian root helped my son. He took in in liquid form and the tast wasn't so great. Don't know if they have it in pill form.
Root planing
I had that done last year. It was not bad and I am a chicken when it comes to the dentist. Dentist numbed the side the hygenist worked on and it is a diff kind of high-speed instrument especially for plaque removal. It is an ultrasonic tool for teeth. I do not remember seeing any blood, but of course they suction all of the time. This instrument uses water and it is like a mist. My plaque was not that bad. In fact they could have done all four quadrants at one time instead of staging it. They just numbed what certain quadrant in case your teeth are sensitive. It was worth it too. I go every 3 months to get cleaning and checkup and do the flossing thing and have a WaterPik to boot. That price is just about what I paid too, but my dental insurance covered most of it. Hope this helps out. It sounds worse than it actually is. You should be able to see a diff in the gums too. I know I have. I have a great dentist too. I dreaded it, but after it over I felt like I really worried too much about it. I do not think anyone likes the dentist. I do not think that you would regret it. Good Luck.
root canals
good lord what a nightmare
Do you root for the Iggles?
I do!
root veggies
I have read that root vegetables like carrots, beets, etc., absorb the irrigation water & pesticides & this cannot be washed off, so this would be the place to spend the extra money on organic veggies. For other kinds of veggies, just keep in mind that the pesticides often are sprayed in an oily base, so plain water won't get rid of it. You have to use soap (doesn't take much) & then rinse really well. It's not perfect, but it's better than nothing. Also I read an article in Sunset last month about how you can grow your own organic veggies in a very small space, only about 10 x 10 feet, & get quite a harvest out of it.
I always root for the underdog. I hope they win.
Q
it's greed....money is the root....

Valerian root/Benadryl
Valerian root helps, and I have also used Benadryl. Those are the only two things I know of without a rx. Best wishes - I know how bad it can be!
typo, sorry - route not root ! LOL nm

So, I need a root canal. Yipee!!!
And another $600 crown. Yahoo. But they gave me Vicodin!!! (always think of Bill Engval, the comedian, and being Vicodin Man and going parasailing while under the influence)
I had that happen with my first root canal
I was fine for a day or so and then it got really sore. The endodonist kind of brushed me off when I told him I had twinges of pain for a good 2 weeks.
pre root canal meds
Hi, sorry you are feeling bad. I am too, same reason. Here, we have a waiting list for the endodontist and they call you if and when there is a cancellation. I take 2 Advil LiquiGels and 2 Extra-Strength Tylenol every six hours and it works for a while. Do you have antibiotics? Make sure that you check daily for abscess because that is an emergency and must be dealt with. I hope I get mine fixed before my liver falls out from Tylenol. I have had several and now am about to give up because I don't have another $12,000.00 These are all from fillings I had as a child that expanded and made micro-cracks in molars, that then led to this horrible toothache. Last time I had one I had trigeminal neuralgia for 8 months afterward from the injection. Now I know why some people are "suicidal" when they have trigeminal neuralgia. I can't even have cold air on my face or cold beverages or it feels like I am going to die. I am with Hayseed. There has to be a better way to apply fillings and a less expensive way to repair teeth. We are upper middle class and still can't afford all this. Our insurance is of the "very good" variety and only pays a minimal amount for root canals and crowns. Is this discrimination to those of us who have lived to be over 35?
Root toucher upper, have you ever
used any of the men's products for a touchup? I use them (my hubby got it for me 1 time). It is like instant instead of having to wait the 25 or more minutes ladies have to with the products put out for us. I put mine on, ready to take off!
Dating? I'd rather have a root canal. -(nm)-
I usually root for the woman, but not this time.
Good for Jon, finally. He has taken so much abuse from Kate (she admitted it too). She treated him like another 1 of the kids.
She seems to be the one benefitting most from the show. It's too bad she's willing to tear apart the family for the money. She keeps reiterating its all for the kids but I really don't think so. Maybe she's trying to get herself to believe it.
dental procedure: root planing
dentist says i need this because of moderate periodontal disease. $200 a quadrant x4 = $800 for what sounds like a horrible, bloody procedure. they say they only do two quadrants at a time. does anyone know anything about this, had it done? please let me know what to expect.... thanxabuncha
Also blindfolded while doing the root canal - sm for question
What kind of animal is that on your avatar? At first I thought it was a bearded dragon, then maybe a bird but I'm really not sure. Don't mind me - I'm at that age where I'm needing reading glasses at the end of the day when my eyes are strained. :-)
Did anyone ever have a tooth removed after it was root canaled etc. and very brittle. I am
concerned about it breaking off in pieces being so brittle from all the work done on it and now is infected again. Brother, always something. It is a front tooth no less.
The very root of the word husband came from one who "protected and provided"
i wish i had more time, Basically that is very messed up. Right now is when he needs to be a man, step up, and be a husband. The very root of the word husband came from one who "protected and provided". It's time to fulfill his roll as a "husband". Love doesn't care about fair. He should be understanding of the fact that you're looking for work and would take job if you could BUT you can't. (which don't take personal right now - manager a hotel, you would not believe the amount of resumes bizs gets right now)
He needs to get off his butt and take care of his family. He needs to quit being selfish. I work 75 hours a week to provide for my family. I work from 6am-7pm. Come home and spend 3 hours, quality time with my pregnant wife and my boy. I allow myself 3-4 hours of game time in the morning on my day off, while my wife is still sleeping.
of course it's real!!! It's all real, hence the title
gross
Might try valerian root capsules or 5HTP or melatonin, in vitamin section
s
Valerian root or melatonin from the health food store. Are you on herbals

If all this is for real...
I can't imagine that you haven't ripped her superior little head off! What a nerve this woman has. Stand up for you and your child. She is NO better than you are just because you chose to raise your children differently than she did! I am more like you, in raising my children that is, they do not have a lot of structured activities...my 7 YO just wants to be a kid and play! I don't force him to play with anyone he doesn't want to...and you shouldn't feel like you have to force your child to play with anyone he doesn't want to.
Take a stand against this woman...tell her what you think and let it go...what's she gonna do, ground you? 
Definitely real.

Up and real
We've had ours up since the day after Thanksgiving along with all the inside and outside of the house decorated at the same time.
let's see, what is more REAL,
googling something
or experiencing with knowledge 1st hand???
Real Dad
My husband met his real Dad after 20 years of searching. We live on the East coast. His Dad lives on the West coast. My MIL did not want him him meeting his Dad for the same reason.
I can tell you this, his Dad was very receptive of him. He answered some questions that neither my MIL nor anyone else could answer. It was a nice reunion.
Please disregard your mother's opinion at this point because she is probably scorn and feels you should feel the same way. It just doesn't work that way with the child that wants to know their Dad. My husband didn't care what his Dad was like, but he wanted to see him and talk to him.
He now only talks to him occasionally, but I can say that my hubby sleeps much better at night and has learned acceptable, which has really helped emotionally with this struggle he has had all of these years wanting to know his Dad.
Even if you just write a letter explaining that you just wanted to know who he was and to make sure he is safe! Holding grudges and putting a lot of emotional junk out there at first is sort of a turn-off in my opinion, but in time, you'll find your answers.
Good luck to you, and so glad you at least know he's safe and has a family that loves him, albeit he left out on you. Hold those kinds of feelings in your heart instead of holding grief or demeaning feelings because the "good stuff" lasts longer and doesn't cause as much heartache!
Take care and God Bless!
Is this for real?
This could be anybody...and probably is NOT a young expecting couple, I'd bet...wow, how unbelievable.. BTW, how did you find this? Just curious. Guess I'm just not very Internet savvy, cause I can't find anything worth looking at out there...
Get real
It is unrealistic to expect parents to pick up a high schooler - chances are both parents work.
You are missing the point here - the schools are not doing job!!!! Kids don't feel safe at school because they are not safe - and that's the fault of we adults. We have to demand better accountability from the school officials, including the school board. Even if it means some of the Dads - or Moms if they feel qualified - patrol the school themselves as a voluntary security force. It's pathetic that our kids have to even think about protecting themselves from other kids, but that is the world we have handed over to them.
HomeMT, I applaud you for protesting your child's suspenson. I think she should be allowed to carry the pepper spray. I would get her into a self-defense class, too, just so she can learn some other methods of protecting herself. This doesn't have to martial arts, but there are 1 and 2 hour classes where they can teach you methods to protect yourself from an attacke from behind, etc. All female children should have this trainng.
I am about as real as it gets
I am putting the truth out there and if some don’t like, nothing I can do about it. No one, including this girl, is allowed to have any sort of pepper spray, knives, guns, paper cutters and if you think children are not being suspended for just having drawings, then you are not listening to the world around you. A 15 year old knows right from wrong about school issues. I do not see this parent getting anything reversed. Her child was wrong in having it and if the parent bought for her to take to school, they are wrong as well. You should read my post because I said either she or someone else pick up the child if safety is such an issue. I think in high school most children hate riding the yellow bus and would rather walk,drive or be driven to school and usually is the case now. I hold the parents resonsible for the sad state of affairs with the schools- too much pampering with Johnny and Janie. The kids have no respect for their teachers nor for their own selves.
I am not real sure about this, but---sm
I have seen advertisements for the newer digital type hearing aides that run around $1500 for each ear. good luck.
Get real
This guy doesn't need a kidney - he has taken a new job and has to learn a new route. The mom should leave him alone - if he isn't smart or resourceful enough to contact the vast number of resources that NYC has to offer tourists and new city dwellers on how to get around in Manhattan, then he isn't smart enough to have that job.
For crying out loud, some of you women just won't let go of your little boys.
I think you are for real. .
I believe what you see is for real. . I don't see these things to this extent. just a little. I think it must be a gift. though we can't undernstand it fully. . .
Are they for real?
 I can't imaging a service posting a pay of 5 to 7 cents per line - I wonder how many people can (or would) work for that??
Yep - this would be for real and actually
I did take today off to drink it up with jose and lay in the pool all day not giving a flip anymore!

rent here in Miami for a studio is 2K a month - I drive my car to the store twice a month stock up and live on about $300 a month for groceries -- BTW furnished room too for $575 (small kitchenette, full bath and living/bedroom area) so quit griping and realize how lucky SOME of you do have it -- BTW - Im single, and even s/o who does not live with me has had problems with money lately -- we are both "stressing" but surviving
so you babies need to grow up and quit griping and working a weekend, 2 or 3 wouldn't hurt either.
Yes they did! And I have a real one and I
If you go on e bay, please don't get the felt ones which are fake. You need to get a real one. Though the vintage collectors (which I am) will pay top-dollar. I took a lot of time to find one and it is real wool and I love to wear it. The crinoline underneath can be found on e bay and you can put in the search as square dancing crinoline, or crinoline. Make sure it does not go below the skirt much like the wedding dress crinolines, 2 different things.
I do suggest e bay, but do not look under costumes. Look under vintage poodle skirt and make sure that your mom or someone who knows the real thing from the fake. If you are going to spend money, don't waste it. Also you can get saddle shoes, (white and black tie shoes). Believe it or not, I wear it around (I live in Florida) and may elderly women stop me and so do their husbands to thank them for the memories. BTW: Friskyfrocks vintage is one vendor on e bay who knows all about crinolines. You can e mail her and ask her anything you want to know. She is very honest. Her name is Nellie. Tell her Diane from Florida sent you. Good luck!
Are you for real?
That "all woman" robot will never experience menopause either, so why would anyone suggest she take a pill? Bashing hormones and birth control pills and feminism? I'm not sure where that all came from out of a simple question about menopause or how you even can put all of that together. Just like every woman's PMS, giving birth, work, family, marriage, etc experiences are different, so are the experiences of menopause. For those who can get through them all gracefully and without problems, I say you go girl! But for those who can't, I say if a man came up with a pill that will make all the discomfort go away, he's my new best friend. And phooey on you if you just don't get that not everyone can be (or wants to be) an "all natural girl." That doesn't make us any less "all woman" or our husbands "all man." Bravo to the women who have reached out and asked for help - too many of us don't until it's too late or we've agonized for too long. Deenibeeni, take a bow - you've earned the applause!!!
There's no real need to tell them . . .
imo, that may open the door for them to rationalize that behavior. My son's 13-year-old friend was over the other night telling us the stories that his dad and grandpa had done as a kid (fairly wild). He thought it was hilarious. This boy was thinking it was pretty cool and my husband and I both shared the thought "What's he going to do to outdo dad and grandpa?" It's okay to admit you're not perfect and you made mistakes, but to tell them might just justify it to them. We told our children drinking is an adult decision and when they are adults they can make that decision but for now it is illegal and big trouble. We also told them what consequences they would face if they were even around kids drinking. My kids love sports too much to take that chance. sex is a tougher issue, but we've explained it is also an adult situation that should not be brought into their child lives until they are adults. That is an ongoing conversation right now . . .
oh get real, because
you can find it in print does not make it true...
For real? or something VR came up with?
For real...
I grew up in the ྌs, graduated in ྒྷ...and I didn't know 1 person who did drugs. Never saw them being dealt at school, no guns, knives, etc., brought to school. the only pregnant girl in our school had to stay in 1 classroom all day. Now it's like a status symbol to be pregnant...go figure right!
Real Tree
We just put our tree up today. A 10 footer that we paid $35 for which I thought was a great deal. We used to have an artificial tree until our cat started eating the needles (she won't touch the real needles). She got really sick (the needles stayed in her stomach) and she had to have an emergency operation. No more artificial tree from then on.
Real tree
I'll never do fake.
real tree
not bought, but hunted for; we love the smell of cedar throughout the house!
PDR not real MT-friendly....IMO
the best drug books are the quick reference styles specifically made for MT - and now some come on CD making it even quicker/easier. The Quick Look Drug Book CD is my favorite.
You got it!!! I am so real, it's scary *LOL*
And I never tried to push my upbringing/religion onto anybody ever in life and now I'm not into organized religion but very into G_D! And I would never push my ways down anyone else's gullet.
Never had a cat before? You are in for a real treat (sm)
Cats are just so cool. I have 3 dogs and my 20 year old cat just died in Feb. They work their way into your heart just like dogs do, but in many ways are so much easier to deal with. And they have this way of looking at you when you give them the "wrong" food that day, like you have just totally lost your mind. If you're gone for a few days, your dogs will be so excited to see you when you get back. Cats will act like they don't care, and are just so uninterested that you came back (till an hour or so later when they decide to "forgive" you. As you can probably see, I miss my baby. Best of luck with yours.
Well, hello, this is the real world
and a company is in business to make money. They care less about a sick child at home, that is your responsibility, not theirs and they are completely right in telling you to get someone to watch her or else your job is on the line. That is called business but at the same time you are complaining about bleeding so much, you are wanting to go on a field trip? I do not think you have your priorities in line - that is if you want to work or maybe just quit then you could go to see about your almost passing out, feeling weak, dizzy, go on the field trip with your child - oh I almost forgot, without the income you might not be able to do the things you want. Up to you really..
Found my real Dad.
I was born in 1982 and was raised by my mom and FINALLY found my dad after years of searching. He lives in Houston. I don't want to just show up out of the blue and say dad, here I am. I have his address and phone number. Mom says that I shouldn't contact him, he walked out on her after I was born, but I want to know what he's like.
I guess he went to a lot of trouble to start a new life somewhere else, got remarried, had other kids. In all these years he hasn't made an effort to contact me, but I still want to meet him. I hear his wife doesn't want me around, but she can't stop me from seeing my dad. Still, I don't want to make any waves. What should I do.
